Welcome to my blog. Please
tell us about your Inspirational Romance, Stone of Destiny.
Taylor Harrison has given up on everything but her work.
After becoming the youngest CEO of Mugful’s Beverage Company, she believes life
is complete--until her grandmother asks her to oversee the renovations of the
family home, in addition to searching for a missing heirloom. Her first contact
with what she believes is an insignificant ring, lost for fifty years, sends
her life spinning. Taylor experiences strange dreams. Unexpected feelings
surface that she doesn't understand. Thoughts that should remain unspoken are
voiced. Taylor’s emotional journey begins, testing a heart as cold as the ring
itself and forcing her to question everything she believes. Is this a
fairytale, or simply her soul reaching out for a different world--a life she
can only find through faith and a divine trust in God?
Where did you get
your inspiration for this story?
Stone of Destiny is a book I felt compelled to write. I
was passing by my oldest grandson one day; his nose was deep into one of those
YA books about magic. The thought came to me that there all kinds of
captivating wonder around and real miracles. So I set out to write a fictional
story that starts with a simple object but becomes hope to hang on to through
faith and prayer.
What kind of
research did you do?
In Stone of Destiny Taylor, my main character must
temporarily relocate to Panama.
I’ve never had the pleasure of going to Central America so
I did a lot of arm chair visits to get the scenery and the attractions correct.
Do you consider
your female characters to be strong and feisty or meek yet spirited?
Taylor is strong to a fault due to some childhood
insecurities. She never knew the way she was raised had impacted her life until
things began to force her to change her routine.

Linda, thank you for allowing me to be on your lovely blog. I'm excited to meet some of your readers.
Stone of Destiny is an excellent story. Mary weaves reality and life with love for an elderly grandmother, and the opportunity of romance. Will her heroine allow God to lead? You won't be disappointed with her book.
Mary's book would be a wonderful addition to our Young Adult section of the Church Library.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to win her book.
